From the
European lands they sought to explore
Wreaking
havoc on distant shores
Imperialists
Colonialists
Conquistadors
Through our
lands they plundered and ravaged
With
patronising effrontery they called us savage
They fed us
their religion and forced us to take heed
But in the
name of their god they salivated from greed
For the
alabaster master we toiled and slaved
Put in our
place if we protested or misbehaved
This is what
they called civilisation
Chastening
the natives with no deliberation
